Last week I found one car which attracted me a lot. I wish to buy it too. It is a E55 AMG, 2001 model imported from Japan.
I drove the car and its very smooth and clean. But two problems,
1) The Odometer shows only 23000 kms ( unbelievable).
2) The Command system is missing ( The VIN check says it is with option 352 )
No service record available with the car
Is this car odometer doctored ? Is it possible for somebody to help me by finding the real recorded odometer reading of the last officially recorded service ? or a car history report. Because its from Japan, carfax doesn't have the records.
The VIN number is WDB2010741B312435.
Just like that, the guy gave me the auction sheet of the car.
The images of the auction sheet and odometer & console is in the attachment.
Can anybody help me finding the truth ?
whether odo is doctored
what the auction sheet it says and that also is fake ?
navi is stolen ?
How much will be a reasonable price for this car ?
where are you located now? you may be able to call a few mercedes dealers in Japan and have them look up the VIN to see if they serviced it. If you are over seas Carfax won't really help you.
Vehicle: 1988 300 TE. 2001 ML 55AMG. 2003 ML350 (now the new service vehicle...)
